Shotokan Karate Bishopbriggs

Zanshin Kai is a Shotokan Karate club offering Karate classes to all ages. Kyoshi Kenneth Davis 7th Dan is the Head Instructor and he has been running the club for over 35 years. We are affiliated with Traditional Karate Great Britain (TKGB), Jindokai Martial Arts Association and the Scottish Karate Alliance. Sensei Davis is also a fellow of the International Shotokan-ryu Karate -do Shihankai. Our ethos is to enable students to develop the skills and experience that can lead to effective self-defence techniques.

In addition there is an opportunity to compete at local, national and international level. Karate is an oriental philosophy which can benefit its students not only in the areas of self defence and sport, but importantly on a personal level improving self-confidence and promoting a general sense of well being. Shotokan karate was developed by Gichin Funakoshi, combining elements from both Shuri te and Naha te styles.
